I'll get us started with two objectives I have used in PL sessions:
  • Analyze consensus maps using the following criteria: alignment to standards, clarity, and format.
  • Provide written feedback to Consensus Leadership Team in collaboration with your GL team or department.
K. Thorpe

Here are the two I used today (10-29-09)
---Students will identify 27 commonly used elements by using a computer, the internet, and a teacher handout
---Students will discover one fact, something interesting, and something new about the 27 common elements through the website “chem4kids.com”

Feedback? Ryan,
These are good objectives. Consider using a different verb to replace "discover." It may be hard to observe students as they discover. You may have observed them writing or orally stating one fact, something interesting, and something new. Karen
